Exclude Categories from Home Page Posts

[abovethebuzz]

Hi,

I would like to exclude certain posts from one of my categories from showing up {deals} on the home page and only have it available if you click it via the menu. I found a spot under Genesis Theme settings where you can exclude categories by entering the category ID so I added a plugin that gave me the category-ID and then put that number in, but the post still show up. I'm using the Blissful theme. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My site is http://upcycledtreasures.com

Thanks!

Thank You! I don't know why I didn't see that comment thread when I searched. After trying a couple different plugins I decided to go with this one:

Which was easy to set up, I checked a couple categories I wanted excluded and it worked, thank you!

@braddalton quick question: in which file do I have to put this code? I expected it to go in the functions.php, however I thinlk it should stay in a function of some sort, how do I do this?

thanx a lot

Hello Valentina

Can be used in a template like home.php or a custom function.

Please link to your site.

I'd need to know exactly what you want to exclude and where so i can test the code locally on the same theme and provide the working code.
